Jeonghan walks towards the dorm gates just as they're about to close. The watchman throws him a glare, and Jeonghan bows apologetically, hurrying towards his dorm. His cheeks still flush from his interaction with Seungcheol earlier on the ground.
He was so close to Seungcheol! Jeonghan swears he would've fainted if Seungcheol had even tugged him an inch closer. Seungcheol is incredibly handsome up close; that's the first thing Jeonghan noticed. And those lips - so full and pouty. Oh, they look so kissable!
And to top it off, Seungcheol asked him out for a movie - well, maybe not a date, but that's how Jeonghan is going to consider it.
Jeonghan shakes his head, "no nasty thoughts," he mutters to himself, digging for his dorm keys. Unlocking the door, he twists the doorknob and opens it, only to scream loudly when he sees Seokmin all over a half-naked Joshua on his bed!
"What the heck!" Jeonghan screeches, dropping his bag to the floor, causing Seokmin to scramble down while Joshua's foot comes in contact with Seokmin's lower belly.
"Jeonghan! Knock, you stupid thing!" Joshua curses, immediately wrapping the duvet over himself. Seokmin is still kneeling at the edge of the bed, not facing Jeonghan.
Jeonghan's mouth hangs open, his eyes on the verge of popping out. What has he just witnessed? "You were going to do it on my bed?" Jeonghan says after finally regaining his senses, realizing that Joshua was still on his bed.
"Um, no?" Joshua says uncertainly, looking around and sealing his lips tightly when he realizes he was indeed sitting on Jeonghan's bed.
"Oh, sorry," Joshua giggles, standing up and walking towards his own bed, both of them totally ignoring Seokmin, who looks like he wants to dig up a hole and hibernate for the rest of his life.
"But, we were just kissing, nothing more. No hanky-panky, I swear," Joshua says, gesturing for Seokmin to join him in his bed.
"I would have actually killed you if you had even thought of doing something like that on my bed," Jeonghan says with a glare as he jumps over his bed, still feeling doubtful but pushing it aside. He's too happy about going on a movie date with Seungcheol tomorrow.
"Where were you out so late?" Joshua questions Jeonghan, who feels his cheeks heat up once again as he remembers where and with whom he spent the whole day.
"Uni concert and playing basketball," Jeonghan mumbles loud enough for Joshua and Seokmin to hear. "With Seungcheol."
"What!" Joshua jumps to his feet, leaping over Jeonghan, who groans and pushes him off. Right, he just forgot how hyper Joshua can be about this.
"You went on a date with him?" Joshua says, grabbing Jeonghan's collar and shaking him vigorously.
"No!" Jeonghan says, feeling dizzy as he finally pushes Joshua off himself.
"Then?" Joshua says, pointing his detective eyes at Jeonghan.
"So, the thing is..." Jeonghan starts to explain how his classes were canceled, leading him to spend time at the library, how Mingyu asked him to fill in at the concert, how he jammed at the concert with Seungcheol, how Seungcheol bought him cotton candy, and how they ditched the concert to play basketball. He recounts losing to Seungcheol after making a bet, with the winner granted a wish, and how Seungcheol asked for a movie outing with Jeonghan tomorrow.
"...so now we're going out for a movie tomorrow," Jeonghan finishes, leaning back on his bed. Joshua just stares at him with his mouth wide open.
"This is not a date," Jeonghan corrects Joshua. "I'm going to the movie because I lost the bet," though he would love to go on a date with Seungcheol, but there's no way Seungcheol is into him.
"Are you dumb?" Joshua says after a few seconds, squinting at Jeonghan, who glares at him.
"What?" He sneers at Joshua, who rolls his eyes.
"You can't see how much that math freak is trying to take you out on a date, ask for your hand in marriage, adopt babies with you, and go on a honeymoon in Jeju--"
"Hold on! You're going too far," Jeonghan says, throwing a soft plushie at Joshua. "It's nothing like that."
"Seriously? I thought Joshua was the dumb one in our trio, but you're proving me wrong, Jeonghan," Seokmin says with an amused voice, causing Joshua to throw the same plushie at him.
"Hey, I'm not dumb!" Joshua says, huffing at his boyfriend, who winks at him, mouthing a 'just kidding, babe.'
"Why do y'all think he's trying to ask me out? I'm probably not even his type," Jeonghan says with a whine, burying his face into his pillow. A date with Seungcheol is something Jeonghan had always dreamed about, blushing furiously at the thought.
"This is probably just a friendly gesture from Seungcheol. Don't misunderstand it," he tells himself before totally dismissing the idea of Seungcheol asking him out on a date. "I'm probably not even his type," he thinks before lifting his head to see Seokmin and Joshua standing at the door, looking like they're leaving.
"Bye, Hannie!" Seokmin calls out before walking away, and Jeonghan waves back from the bed itself. Joshua closes the door before walking back to sit at the edge of the bed, staring at Jeonghan.
"What?" Jeonghan says, raising his eyebrows in a questioning manner.
"You're going out on a date with your crush," Joshua says with a suggestive wiggle of his eyebrows.
"It's not a date, Shua," Jeonghan groans, sliding onto the bed to lay like a starfish.
"Whatever, but remember, when you're married and have babies, name them after me," Joshua says before walking back to his bed and sliding in to sleep. Jeonghan rolls his eyes at Joshua. Isn't one Joshua enough to make his life miserable?
A date? Jeonghan feels his ears burning at the thought. A date with Seungcheol would be nice.
"I hope I don't mess up tomorrow," he mumbles to himself before slipping under the duvet.
"I should set an alarm for tomorrow so that I won't oversleep," Jeonghan suddenly remembers. There's no way he's going to show up late for the movie with Seungcheol.
"My phone?" Jeonghan mumbles when he doesn't find the electronic device anywhere. "Ah, it must be in my bag," Jeonghan whispers to himself as he squats to grab it from his table shelf.
Jeonghan digs inside his bag and finds his phone. Tugging it out, he's about to push his bag back into its place when he notices a pink note stuffed into the small keychain pocket.
"Oh right! The mysterious note," Jeonghan thinks, feeling a sense of relief as he finds it. He hurriedly pulls it out, biting his lip in anticipation.
"Your voice is one of the sweetest melodies I've heard in my whole life. You looked so cute at the concert today -CS."
Right, this might have happened when he was at the concert with Seungcheol. Did Seungcheol see who it was? Or did this person slip the note in while Jeonghan wasn't paying attention?
Jeonghan clicks his tongue as he tosses the note into his drawer. When he sees something written on the other side, he reaches out and straightens it to read.
"I'm shy to tell you who I am, please find me on your way. (Joshua is a great help) -CS."
"I will find you," Jeonghan mumbles to himself before tossing the note into his drawer and turning off the lamp.
"Why am I suddenly feeling so happy?"
